Ashok Ahir (pictured), who served as President of the Court and Chair of the Management Board for six years, added as his term came to an end that it was important for the Eisteddfod to reach the people.

"Every Eisteddfod has a different character, and one thing I was determined to do as President was to ensure a clear pattern. I wanted to see the Eisteddfod go to the centres where people live.

"My first experience of the Eisteddfod was as Chair of the 2018 Eisteddfod executive committee.
